Inside the Canalazzo Forest Park what stands out most to the eye are certainly its enchanting natural landscapes, almost paradisiacal, where the fauna meets perfectly with the rich vegetation in a climate suitable for hosting numerous species, including various birds that nest right among the shrubs present here. To the north of the Canalazzo Forest Park is the scenic Dirillo Lake, artificially created with a dam that blocks the path of the Sicilian river of the same name.
